Service: The Welcome and service was great, however we were taken to the top of the ship with a welcome drink and left there by ourselves, (it was extremely cold) when the waitress bought canapes to us we asked to go down stairs.

Food was beautiful and the waitress was very friendly and lovely.

Dinner / night cruise was not what we expected, we couldn't see a lot as it was dark and the windows reflected the inside of the ship.

We would cruise again, but perhaps sunset.Product: Very Nice, smaller meals sizes.

well thought out pairing with the wine. food cost at roughly $200.00 more for the cruise is a bit steep.

Service: Our waiteress was lovely. Couldn’t have been more friendly and accomodating.Product: We’ve been on this cruise a year ago and the food seemed to be better then than this time

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your review of your Captain Cook Cruise experience. We offer a range of bar packages, with a variation of prices resulting in a greater selection of beverage options available. All wines are also available for purchase if customers desire something other than the included products for their package. We always encourage guests to talk to the Cruise Director on board if they have any concerns, especially regarding food, drinks and service as they will be able to solve the problem immediately. Please be assured your concerns have been forwarded to our catering and hospitality manager.

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening, the staff were warm, friendly and efficient. The meal first class and the accompanying wines were suitably matched to all of the courses.We appreciated the music and it added to the whole experience.

Service: From the very start to the completion of the cruise, the enthusiastic service, entertainment and attention to detail was absolutely first class.Product: A culinary delight that was perfectly matched with some superb Penfolds wine.

Service: The food was brilliant & the service faultless. We had a really wonderful evening & would recommend it to anyone.Product: We all thought the food was very good & the service excellent. It certainly wasn’t cheap, but it surpassed our expectations.

Service: We were on the Penfolds cruise in 2017 and found the atmosphere was so much better. We also had a band which was great because we could get up to dance. This year we only had 20 people in total and a piano was all the entertainment we had. I would have preferred to pay less and be down stairs. The staff, however and the meals were amazing.Product: Food and wines were awesome.

Our cruise times are listed on our website for complete transparency for our customers and we follow this as closely as possible. We apologise if you felt this was not the case on this occasion.

Service: We absolutely loved the Dinner and Cruise. The service was excellent! All staff were very friendly. We celebrated our 5 year anniversary and it was lovely. The food was amazing and the pianist played a very nice selection of music. Thank you!Product: It was amazing! It went beyond our expectations!

Captain Cook Cruises's fully delivered on our promised experience. Only nuisance was the fact that the e-ticket, for our online and very early booking for the dinner cruise, advised contradictory boarding locations. We had to telephone your office for clarification.

Service: As we decided to do Vivid cruise only 2 days prior, there wasnt much avialable, the Captain cook Gold Penfolds dinner and drinks cruise package was avialable, however at a price that was out of our price range. But we booked anyway ( i'll have to work harder this week) we are so glad we did. On arrival we were greeted with a glass of champaigne and lots of welcomes from the waiting staff. Dinner was 5 coarse degostation meal, with different wines (Penfolds) to complement each coarse. Midway though dinner we were told to go up on the top deck to view the Vivid light show. Spectacular. Not crowded, very peiceful and just amazing. We finished our meals and more wine (im a beer drinker) there was plenty of beer avialable too. Easy music fabulous view, food and wine to perfection, we cruised our beautiful harbour for an hour before our evening ended. Over 3 hours of pleasure. Highly recommend. Cheers Gav and JulieProduct: Unbeleivable, everything was perfect.

Service: Everyone I spoke with by phone and in person at two different counters were extremely polite, kind and courteous. On board we were greeted warmly and handed a glass of champagne. Our waitperson, a darling woman named Bella, was unusually attentive and friendly. We toured Sydney Harbor at night during Vivid and it was breathtaking! Oh, and the food and wine selections were perfect! We had live music and we were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary and we were announced and given a special dessert. So very nice!Product: Fabulous experience! A great way to see the Vivid light shows.

Service: Very courteous and helpful service from the time before we even boarded the cruise . The seating , meals , service and entertainment ( 2 man band ) alone was fabulous enough , let alone cruising while VIVID was on . Fantastic and memorable night.Product: superb seating , meals , service and entertainment by 2 man band

Service: Very friendly, efficient wait staff. Welcome crew most supportive to mobility challenged geriatric. The stairs to top deck were a challenge, but we wanted table service. Great for friends of 40 years to catch up.Product: The need to go down and up stairs to toilets during cruise for mobility challenged.

Service: Service was excellent. Could not have had a better experience. Kelly and Joanne looked after us very well.Product: The experience was amazing. The food was exceptional, the wine Divine and the service impeccable. You MUST do this! Especially for Vivid. I'll do it again!

Service: Very professional.Product: Very nice evening, but a bit pricey.

Service: We both had a fabulous time on the Gold Dinner Cruise, on Tuesday 29th May. This was a special surprise for my wife, and as far as I am concerned it went off without a hitch. The food was superb, and incredibly well presented. Our waitress Arina, always arrived promptly with the Penfolds wine that had been selected to match the current course. I had called the previous day to check if lamb was being served, a meat both of us don't eat, and to ask if our beef course could be cooked well. When the steak arrived it was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. Although I had paid the extra $50 to guarantee a window table, unfortunately, the weather clouded over we didn't see the moon come up over the Opera House. However, our view of the buildings lit up for "Vivid" more than made up for this. All in all a great time was had by wife and I, and something I've been telling our friends and family about.Product: Highly recommended for that special intimate evening meal on the harbour.

Service: We thoroughly enjoyed the actual cruise however our disappointment in the communication of the departure point cannot be expressed enough. With each document sent providing different advice as to the departure point, actual package purchased and other things, we nearly missed the departure, having to dart from circular Quay to King St Wharf.GET IT RIGHT - ALL DOCUMENTS NEED TO BE ACCURATEProduct: great way to see VividFood and wine nice

Our waiter Elmer was wonderful and very very attentive and such a pleasant man... thank you Elmer for making our cruise so very enjoyable !! The lady singer was exceptional too and we had so much fun dancing !So a huge thank you to Captain Cook Cruises and all those involved for making my Birthday a night to remember !!Product: 5 Gold Star in a class of its own !!!!

Service: This was our third time joining Gold Penfolds dinner cruise and it was not as enjoyable as the 2 previous times. There was no ambience, your staff was flat with no personality and the music was poor.Product: It was far too expensive for the overall quality of the evening, including food, service, ambience

Service: The food and service was very good as per our previous Captain Cook dinner cruises. Everyone in our party enjoyed the Penfolds wine choices.The only negative was the timing. We had only just begun to enjoy the city views with our sparkling wine and canapes when we were summoned to go down to our table inside. Our overseas guests would probably have enjoyed the cruise even more if they had been on deck a little longer. An extra half hour for the overall dinner cruise would have allowed for a better experience.Product: We felt a little rushed at the begining when we had to down to our table just after leaving circular quay

Service: It was a fabulous experience which made our 40th wedding anniversary so memorable. The staff were excellent throughout. I would recommend you to my friends.Product: Good value with good food and wine.

Service: The crew aboard the MV Sydney 2000 were exemplary in their service. The food was delicious and the Penfolds wines impeccable. Special note to thank Johanna for her excellent serviceProduct: As explained in the previous page

All good BUT......it was a real rush at the end, eat your sweet, drink up we are back at circular quay, without that rush at the end (which did spoil a good night) we would be 4/5 stars. You must sort that bit as we all want to relax after dinner.......no excuses now!

Our reservation staff are always happy to assist with any enquiries you may have regarding your cruise.

Service: We had a fantastic meal, service was attentive and considerate. The live music was well suited to the atmosphere and the musicians were talented. The weather was perfect and we got the Valentine's day experience of a lifetime.Product: I think for the time we had on board, the quality of the food and wines it was fairly priced.

Service: Our Sydney Harbour dinner cruise was amazing!!! The service was exceptional and the staff went above and beyond to be attentive, kind and informative all evening. We had a wonderful time aboard and was a wonderful way to finish our holiday in Sydney.Product: The food was great and the wines were so well matched. We were left feeling very full and satisfied!

Service: Gold Dinner cruise - Excellent service from Juliane and the rest of the staff involved. Delicious food and generous servings of wine. Great ambiance. Wonderful Experience.Product: Easy to purchase tickets over the internet. Destination was easy to find at Circular Quay.

Service: Penfolds wine was amazing, food was delicious, views were spectacular, waiter was such a dude (he definitely added to the whole experience). We just wish it went a bit longer and we had time between courses to go up on deck to take in more of the viewsProduct: Wine and food was great! Our friend doesnt eat seafood so possible could make other options availablePlenty of food! We were all so so full

Service: The service was unbelievable. Our steward Joe was amazing. The one big downside was a woman named Julie at the check in. We ask if there was a possibiliry of and upgrade to a window seat. She clicked away a her computer and finally said yes. That wil be $50. We paid cash. No receipt. She wrotr window on our tickets all good. When we got on board there were only 12-14 people. We would have had a window seat anyway!Product: Couldn't fault it. Will definitely do again

Food portions were too small for a 6 course meal, dessert came with only 5 minutes left until arrival. My partner found a piece of hair in her dessert but did not want to complain as to ruin the date and there wouldn't be enough time to get another one remade. Overall the food was average.

Service was 10/10 great, thank you to the kind korean lady who served our table.

Service: Went on our first date 26 years ago and came back to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. So glad we did. Had a wonderful evening with delicious food and delightful service. Definitely hope to return again for Valentines Day.Product: Delicious food, delightful service and first class views.Celebrated our 25th Wedding anniversary and was so glad we chose this wonderful cruise for this special day.

Service: The staff on board were fantastic. I think the lady that looked after us was Kelly and she couldn’t have been more helpful. The food was so good. 6 courses was a lot to get through though 😀. The wine that accompanied each course seemed perfectly matched. All over a memorable night.Product: Booking process was easy, all done on line and no problems

The staff were very helpful and polite. It would have been nice to have a drink at the table when we first sat down as the guys had a beer, but the ladies had to wait for the first wine to be served with the meal.

Service: The staff tried to give customer service to their knowledge ability. They had poor knowledge of the drinks they were pouring, some that asked for bourbon got malibu, some that asked for bacardi got bundaberg UP rum, some that asked for scotch got Jack Daniels. This was a penfolds gold dinner and the lack of knowledge of penfolds wines was extraordinary by the servers, my bottle shop staff were telling them what they should have been telling their customers. It was definitely a display of lack of product knowledge and considering the tickets were over $200 each person I expected more. The food was extremely small and basic for the cost and the chefs laying on the steps in between service wasn't exactly the best look health wise nor any other reason. The only positives were that the boat was clean and the views were great, could have got better value and service on a river cat.Product: Poor value for what you get especially with the lack of knowledge.

Lovely craft, pleasant staff.Meal was pleasant but portions small. We had one canape on the upper deck because we were then ushered downstairs and nothing else was offered whilst we were seated. Wines were disappointing, half glasses and we couldn't get a soft drink.When coffee arrived we had docked so had to leave. Overall a poor experience, not worth the money and all very rushed.

The portion sizes are smaller as we want to showcase our high-quality dishes and wine. Likewise our wine degustation is designed to showcase the exquisite flavour of the high quality wines we have sourced, and therefore provide an adequate amount of wine to sample the taste. Additional drinks can be requested by request for no additional charge. We always encourage guests to talk to the Cruise Director or our hospitality staff on board if they have any concerns, especially regarding food & beverage as they will be able to solve the problem immediately.

Service: The staff on the boat were great, the office staff and telephone staff were not as helpful. No communication why the boat was late.Product: The service was great but some of the cuisine was very average. The lamb was cold and not very tender, the same for the beef.

Service: Amazing service, all the staff were friendly & efficient. We booked the Penfolds Gold dinner cruise. I would very highly recommend this for anyone but perfect for a special occasionProduct: Everything was perfect. Website was easy to navigate. Instructions at Circular Quay by the staff were great, canapés on top deck were amazing with the wonderful views of the harbour. Food was excellent & there was plenty of it & we really enjoyed the way the wines were paired with the meals. Service was great. We booked & paid extra for a window table, which even tho' there were not all that many people on board, was definitely worth the extra cost as the harbour lights just added to the experience. The only downside (& it was minor) was the piano player was just a tiny bit too loud.

A truly memorable experience & one we will repeat. Couldn't recommend it highly enough

We were treated like VIP's from the moment we boarded the boat, with the top deck cocktail party to the table by the window & the attentive service shown to us by Joey! It was a special birthday dinner for my partner & he certainly enjoyed it.

Service: The service was good, staff was attentive and knowledgeable.Product: We had a very nice evening with spectacular views and good service. We boarded at wharf 6 to have canapés and bubbly on deck on the way to Darling Harbor. Would have liked more bubbly and canapé time on deck rather than sitting in the dining room. That being said, it was a nice dinner with excellent wine choice paired to each course.

Service: Fantastic, very good food and good combination with nice wine seeing the amazing views from the ferry. We had a great time and actually my proposal to my girlfriend was successfully accepted after the dinner.Product: Very smooth transactions and I didn't have any issues with it.
